OVERUSE & MISUSE ENCOURAGES RESISTANT FORMS: 1968-71 > Guatemala ; 12,000 people died to a resistant form of: S.dysenteriae ANTIBIOTICS causes the sensitive cells to die, stimulates resistant cells: grow & to thrive increasing numbers HOSPITALS: care taken to prevent resistant strains overtaking the susceptible strains especially: E.Coli P.Aeruginosa S.Marcesens Proteus (Pommerville J.C, 2004)
